Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for creating a connection mechanism for a circuit board. The method includes securing a plurality of electrical conductors to a sleeve. Once the electrical conductors have been coupled to the sleeve, the sleeve and the plurality of conductors are coupled to, and molded with, the circuit board. At least one side of the circuit board, such as, for example, the molding over the plurality of electrical conductors, is subsequently reduced to expose at least a portion of at least one of the plurality of electrical conductors. An electrical connector is then coupled to the at least the portion of the one or more of the plurality of electrical conductors that was exposed when the first side of the printed circuit board was reduced.
Abstract:
A wiring substrate includes a wiring board having a main face and a side face substantially perpendicular to the main face; a circuit pattern which is formed on the main face of the wiring board; a soaking plate which is disposed in an intermediate layer of the wiring board; and a plurality of protruding terminals are disposed in the intermediate layer and are projected outwardly from the side face. The protruding terminals are electrically connected in the intermediate layer to each other.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for integrating radio-frequency identification (RFID) circuitry into flexible circuits are provided. An RFID integrated circuit can be embedded within a dielectric layer of a flexible circuit or between a dielectric layer and a conductive layer of the flexible circuit. Additionally or alternatively, an RFID antenna may be integrated into a conductive layer of the flexible circuit. Alternatively, both the integrated circuit and antenna of RFID circuitry may be provided off of the flexible circuit but an RFID connector coupling the integrated circuit and antenna may be integrated into the flexible circuit.

Abstract:
A support module (1), comprising a conducting layer (2) having a trough hole (5) and a receiving surface adapted to receive a solid state light source (3) with the electrical contact pad (4) being aligned with the through hole (5). The support module (1) further comprises an electrical insulation element (8) and at least one contact pin (9), extending through the electrical insulation element (8), and protruding through the through hole (5). Furthermore, the electrical insulation element (8) comprises a channel (10) allowing access to the end of the contact pin (9) and the electrical contact pad (4) of the solid state light source (3) received by the surface of the conducting layer (2). Such a channel makes it possible to reach the end of the contact pin and the contact pad through the insulation element with a soldering tool. Thus, it is possible to attach the solid state light source on a metal surface by soldering the contact pin to the contact pad. Mounting a solid state lighting device on a metal surface is advantageous in applications requiring good heat dissipation, since the heat dissipation properties of a metal surface is better than of a printed circuit board.

Removable circuits and related mounting hardware for removably connecting circuits to a vehicle's control system. Circuits and connectors form an addressable assembly which may be enclosed in a flowable material.
Abstract:
An electronic display assembly where the components can be removed and serviced or replaced without having to remove the display from its position. A backplane may be in electrical communication with the image producing assembly and may contain a plurality of blind mate connectors. Various electronic assemblies may be connected to the blind mate connectors. An access panel may provide access to the electronic assemblies so that they can be removed from the housing. N+1 power supplies may be used so that if one fails the unit would continue to operate until the failed power supply could be replaced. The electronic assemblies may be removed from the left side, right side, top, or bottom surfaces of the display housing. Any flat panel electronic display may be used.
Abstract:
The present invention is to provide a metal-core substrate without mounting large size terminals and connectors. Hence, the metal-core substrate can be smaller and thinner. A metal-core substrate includes a metal plate, an insulating layer formed on a surface of the metal plate and a circuit pattern formed on a surface of the insulating layer, wherein a part of said metal plate is exposed to outside of the insulating layer and is utilized as connector terminals. The metal plate has a heat sink plate to heat sink a heat-generating device mounted on the metal-core substrate and connector terminal plates disposed separately from the heat sink plate and utilized for the connector terminals. The heat-generating device and a driving part thereof each are disposed on a different surface of the metal-core substrate.

A mechanical component-containing board includes a board body and a mechanical component having a part thereof built in and integrated with the board body.
Abstract:
A printed wiring board includes a plurality of conductor plates that includes at least one conductor plate that is used as a lead for electrical connection with an external circuit, the conductor plates being separated spatially from one another; an insulating layer formed on or across the conductor plates or both on and across the conductor plates; and a plurality of wiring patterns formed on the insulating layer. At least one of the conductor plates is electrically connected with at least one of the wiring patterns through a via-hole.
